The FUJIFILM X-H2 vs X-H2s - Which one should you get and WHY?

I’ve been shooting the most recent Fujifilm flagship cameras for the past month and have identified why you might want to get one or the other. In this video, I go over the unique points, similarities, and differences between these two cameras and who those cameras are designed for. I also let you know which one I ended up buying for myself.

You will also find a gallery of sample images on my blog here:

I should be able to review the X-T5 shortly, so stay tuned for that also!

Do you own a Fujifilm X-H2 or X-H2s or considering buying one? Which one is it and why?

[SunnyBear]

Huge respect for doing this whole review in one take!

[framedbyaaron]

What a great review, covered al the topics I was hoping it would. Earned a follow!

[tonyadamis]

X-H1 and X-T20 owner here. Photography is my thing. I am thinking the X-H2S will meet my needs best. Don't need the extra megapixels for mostly online display and I favor the top-notch autofocus. Also, heftier grip accommodates some of the heavier glass I use, including 8-16mm, 50 f/1, 50-140, and 200mm. PASM dial will take some getting used to, but you can't have everything!

What amazes me is that even today, that Fuji has grown so much in the camera market, they’re price to quality ratio is unmatched. I shot Canon for 10 years before switching to Fuji 3 years ago and I stand by my decision. I started with the XT3 and now I’m looking at one of these two to update my camera body.

Nice comparison 👍. I was debating getting X-T5 for photography, but eventually ended up getting X-H2S, mainly for better auto focus and rolling shutter performance (I was a bit concerned about the rolling shutter performance on the 40 MP sensor).

XH2 being for photography is fuji marketing. as a hybrid (mostly video) shooter I am very happy with XH2 and 6k/8k are amazing for interviews.

Perfect review, just perfect! Thank you

[peterbondmusic]

Fuji user since 2013. I love my X-H2 the output for photography is incredible. Especially combined with the Mk II 56 1.2WR and 23 1.4WR

[rodrigopassingthewater]

I don’t do video; the only reason I skipped the X-T5 and went for the H2s…I predominantly shoot RAW and don’t want to deal with 80MB files, don’t need the extra resolution. If they had come out with an X-T5s version with the 26mp sensor, I would have gone that route, no doubt.

[modelnaturephotography]

The downsizing from 8Kto 4k from the H2 makes it attractive for image quality at that resolution, but the 4K at 120 would be very useful for portrait video, would expect the same image quality for stills as they share the same sensor, shame media platforms have not kept up with mirrorless technology, not sure how resizing an image from 40 to 3megapixels would effect an image.

[TheWuPigPodcast]

Currently using a XT3 for live streaming and nothing else. I’m looking at the H2 and the XS-20 but I don’t know which way to go.

[Bilalizaddin]

Being fuji shooters for years used it for the size since I use canon full frame cameras, but astounded by the size of xh2, it is heavy bulky not discreet like before for street and travel

[alexnunez]

I have x100v usually use that for street photography, for portrait and landscape and printing photos which one do you recommend between xh2s, xt5 or xh2? Nice video 👍🏻

[akcalder]

You have on a Salesforce Trailblazer hoodie. I too have one!

[angiemyhre.photography]

Great video - I am so torn between the xt5, xh2, and xh2s as my new (and only) camera: for mostly wedding photography, and also some video (for YouTube content), and family photo shoots(outdoor lighting). Any advice greatly appreciated!

Looks like being the story of life. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t.
The ecosystem is good. The quality is good. The images are good. The kit can be light enough. Some complain about AF, some about menu. The choice is yours. If you like photography for what it is and you’re an amateur, you don’t really need more. If you’re a real professional, need a workhorse and a pro service for your lenses, you might consider looking into Nikon and Canon. But you wouldn’t be asking.
I understood that it’s a no more than a tool. Every brand nowadays will get you good results out of camera. The rest is up to you. There’s not much left stepping up camera-wise: Leica, Hasselblad and lenses. Other lenses. Lenses, lenses, lenses.
Go out and paint with light and stop seeking for the holy grail loosing money 😊

[mohankukreti]

For bird still photography which one you suggest X T5 or X H2, as X H2S is at high price tag.

[rootedtreeproductions]

Has anyone run into an issue where you can't save any of the changes you made to the 7 custom settings?

[rifz]

that's interesting about the noise. do they still have the worm problem in lightroom? thanks!
